Objective To discover novel conopeptides which are the antagonists of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in order to contribute to the development of novel analgesic drugs and neuropharmacological probes.Methods Based on the conserved untranslated region and intron of A-superfamily conotoxins,a novel α-conotoxin Lt1.1 was cloned from Conus litteratus.The peptide-resin was synthesized using the solid-phased method and was cleaved.The resulting linear peptide was oxidized by air to give the product containing disulfide bridges.The folding product was finally purified by HPLC.The disulfide bond connectivity was determined using the two-step oxidative folding methods.The cRNA of rat nAChRs was expressed on the membrane of Xenopus oocyte.Membrane currents were recorded using the two electrode voltage-clamp technique.Results A novel α-conotoxin designated as Lt1.1(GCCSHPACNVNNPDIC-NH2) was cloned and its disulfide connectivity was C1-C3,C2-C4.Lt1.1 selectively inhibited the α3β2 and α3β4 nAChRs with an IC50 of 166.76 and 190.00 nmol/L,respectively.Conclusion Lt1.1 is a novel 4/7 α-conotoxin that selectively targets α3β2 and α3β4 nAChRs.

Objective To compare the immunoregulatory effects of Radix Millettia Speciosa (RM Speciosa) and Radix Millettia Championi (RM Championi)on immunosuppressed mice.Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control group,CTX model group,LMS positive group,RM Speciosa groups and RM Championi groups (20,10 and 5 g/kg).The mice were treated respectively with drug or NS once a day for consecutive 20 days.Mice in the other groups were injected intraperitoneally with CTX at days 8,10 and 12 to establish immunosuppressed mice model except the normal group.The changes of body weight,immune organ weight,white blood cell (WBC)number,carbon particle clearance capability of macrophages and delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH)of mice in all groups were determined and compared.Results Compared with that in CTX group,the WBC number was significantly increased (P<0.01 or P<0.05)and the degree of DTH (P<0.01) was enhanced at different doses in RM Speciosa groups and RM Championi groups.The activity of macrophages and the index of thymus and spleen were also improved in the treatment groups (P<0 .0 5 or P<0 .0 1 ).The index of thymus and the degree of DTH in RM Speciosa groups (20 and 10 g/kg)were slightly higher than those in the corresponding RM Championi groups (P<0.01 or P<0.05).For other indicators,RM Speciosa groups did not significantly differ from RM Championi groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Both RM Speciosa and RM Championi can improve the immune function of CTX-induced immunosuppressed mice,and RM Speciosa is slightly superior to RM Championi in improving specific cellular immunity.

Objective To investigate the value of permeability surface (PS) in predicting hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in acute ischernic stroke (AIS) using CT peffusion (CTP).Methods The study included 31 consecutive patients who presented symptoms suggestive of an AIS for 3-9 h. All patients underwent CT examination (noncontrast CT,CTP).HT was determined by follow-up CT images.According to presence of HT,the AIS was divided into HT group (PSHT,11 patients) and non-HT group(PSNo-HT,20 patients).PS,cerebral blood flow (CBF),cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT) on both sides of brains were measured.The relative PS(rPS),relative CBF (rCBF),relative CBV(rCBV) and relative MTT(rMTT) were obtained by calculating the ratio of the values of bilateral regions.The rPS between PSHT and PSNo-HT was compared with an exact Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The rCBF,rCBV,rMTT and the PS of the ischemic side between PSHr and PSNo-HT were compared with independent-sample t test.Meanwhile,Spearman rank correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between the CTP parameters and HT.ResultsThe PS value of ischemic side was (1.61±0.77) ml · min - 1 · 100 g-1 for the PSHT group,and the value was (0.91 ± 0.49) ml · min - 1 · 100 g- 1 for the PSNo-HT group.For the PSHT group,rPS,rCBF,rCBV,rMTT were 2.76 ±0.78,0.32 ±0.18,0.66 ±0.31,2.67 ±0.71,and for the PSNo-HT group,rPS,rCBF,rCBV,rMTT were 1.35 ±0.19,0.50±0.21,0.91 ±0.28,2.62 ± 1.31.Compared with PSNo-HT,PSHT had higher rPS and PS value,and there were significant statistical differences (U =0.000,t =3.070,P <0.01).But rCBF and rCBV values were lower in the PSHT group compared to the PSNo-HT group,and there were significant statistical differences (trCsF =2.343,trCBV =2.210,P < 0.05).There was no significant statistical difference in rMTT between the two groups(t =0.118,P > 0.05).Significant positive correlations were detected between the rPS and PS with HT(r=0.496,0.821,P <0.01).ConclusionsThe value of rPS is helpful in predicting HT in AIS.And it can be used as a predictor in determining clinical personalized treatment and thus reduce the incidence of adverse events.

Objective:
To evaluate ten year changes in deciduous teeth health and oral health behavior aged 5 year old children in Hainan province (during the year of 2005-2015), to provide basis for oral health promotion among 5 year old children in Hainan province.
Methods:
Through the comparison and analysis of the third and the fourth national oral health epidemiology survey,changes of dental caries prevalence rate, dietary habit, oral health behavior, and health seeking behavior were analyzed.
Results:
The prevalence of dental caries in 2005 was 76.1%, 2015 was 82.3% which had significant difference(χ2=6.23,P<0.05), the percentage of consuming sugary food and sweet drinks every day in 2005 was 13.4% and 6.1%, which increased to 30.0% and 7.4% respectively in 2015. The percentage of drinking milk and yoghurt with sugar was 47.6%, which decreased 36.5% in 2015 (χ2=12.76,P<0.05), the percentage of consuming sugary food and sweet drinks before going to bed in 2005 was17.8%, which decreased to 13.3% in 2015 (χ2=32.27,P<0.05). The percentage of brushing the teeth two or more times a day was 16.9%, which increased to 24.2% in 2015(χ2=20.50,P<0.05). The percentage of using fluoridated toothpaste decreased from 31.7% (2005) to 7.4% (2015) (χ2=229.13,P<0.05). No need to treatment for baby teeth and afraid of pain among children were the main reason for no health-seeking among parents which children of dental health problems,which deffered significantly between 2005 and 2015(χ2=6.05,9.34,P<0.05).
Conclusion
Children’s oral health behavior improved, while eating habits fluoridated toothpaste usage and health seeking behavior remain poor.Health education on child oral health should be strengthened.

Objective Pertussis cases have increased markedly since 2018 in Guangxi.The aim of this study was to evaluate antibody levels and the infection status of pertussis in the resident population. Method A total of 10,215 serum samples from residents were collected from August-November 2018 and tested for anti-pertussis IgG and toxin IgG using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results Of the collected samples,1,833(17.94%)tested positive for anti-pertussis IgG,with the median concentration of 16.06 IU/mL.Antibody level<10 IU/mL accounted for more than 60%in children under 4 years of age,but declined with age,whereas the percentages of the other three levels(10-40,40-50,and≥50 IU/mL)increased almost with age(P<0.001).Moreover,7,924 samples were selected for anti-pertussis toxin IgG,of which 653(8.24%)tested positive(≥40 IU/mL)with the median concentration of 5.89 IU/mL,and 204 participants(2.56%)had recent pertussis infection(≥100 IU/mL).Among the different age groups,the highest rates of positivity and recent infection were observed at 11-20 years of age,the lowest positivity rate at 5 years of age,and the lowest recent infection rate at 4 years of age(P<0.001,P=0.005,respectively). Conclusion The survey results showed that all age groups in Guangxi lacked immunity against pertussis,which was one of the main factors contributing to the resurgence of pertussis in 2018.In addition,the prevalence of pertussis is relatively high in Guangxi,and its incidence is seriously underestimated,especially in adolescents and adults.
